Lakhs of pilgrims comes toChitrakoot every year to pay Kamad Nath Ji. Traffic management in Chitrakoot is not good, so thatpilgrims face lots of problems. To solve this problem, authors prepared a traffic plan for Chitrakoot areusing data available in the form of remote sensing images.Keywords: Developing, strategy, transport, traffic, ChitrakootIntroductionCity transportation is an important pillar for quality of life of citizens. Currently, in most ofthe cities, public and private road transportations are the key mode of commuting andlogistics. Some large and mega cities have metro and local train network as the backbonetransportation mode.Traffic management and control approaches are used to control the traffic flows and toprevent or reduce traffic jams, or more generally to improve the performance of the trafficsystem.An IT’s application must detect, control and reduce congestion based on online data thatdescribes traffic patterns such as, density, speed, travel time, the geographic position ofvehicles and the current time. To accomplish this goal, however, the main challenge is howto forecast congestion and re-route vehicles appropriately by considering the time impact onfuture traffic in an area of interest (Roo T., 2016) [10].Smart cities use infrastructure, innovation, and technology for adapting the changes broughtabout by the overpopulation of cities and thus contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxideemissions, decreasing energy consumption, and promoting economic, social, andenvironmental development.Socio-technical imaginaries and roadmaps to the smart ChitrakootScientific and technological change depends on expectations and visions that play a centralrole in mobilizing resources (Borup et al., 2006; Berkhout, 2006; Jasanoff, 2015) [4, 2, 8].Various institutions use imaginaries to elevate some imagined futures above others,according them a dominant position for policy purposes and drawing attention away fromalternatives (Van Hulst, 2012; Jasanoff, 2015) [13, 8]. In this way, the smart city narrative issomewhat predominant in contemporary urban development discourses (Greenfield, 2013;Söderström et al., 2014). [7, 12] Indeed, future city narratives are almost completely dominatedby a single story centred on the deployment of networked informatics, with somewhathyperbolic narratives about the future of urban life framing the smart city as a rational,depoliticized and even unavoidable passage, inherently transformational and sociallybeneficial (Vanolo, 2014; Söderström et al., 2014; Shelton et al., 2014; Luque-Ayala andMarvin, 2015) [14, 12, 11, 9]. 191

International Journal of Applied Researchhttps://www.allresearchjournal.comRoadmaps to the smart ChitrakootThere is not a unique roadmap to the smart city. Rather,there are many smart city frameworks and guidancedocuments built around common themes, issued by bothpublic and private bodies. Collectively the roadmaps exhibitsome distinctly modernist features (Greenfield, 2013;Söderström et al., 2014) [7, 12]. Metrics are established,resources are marshalled, and progress is assessed as thesmart city project progresses through predefined stages.Urban questions are essentially framed as engineeringproblems to be analysed and resolved using empirical,preferably quantitative methods (Bell, 2011) [1]. A coreclaim shared by the various versions of the roadmap is thatby making vast amounts of urban information available inreal time, city leaders can improve the efficiency of publicservice delivery, the sustainability of the urban environment,and the quality of life of citizens (Cisco 2012 BIS 2013) [6, 3].Study AreaChitrakoot is very backward from the point of view oftransport and transportation. It does not have directconnectivity to any place by rail. Its nearest railway stationsare Karwi, Shivaramapuram and Majhagawan. There is apaved route to Chitrakoot from Karwi Railway Station andMajhgawan Railway Station. All the trains stop atChitrakoot Dham Karwi station and Chitrakoot is near fromhere so pilgrims prefer to go to Chitrakoot from here. Thereis a need to make easy routes for the pilgrims connecting themajor religious places here. While preparing thedevelopment plan, care has been taken that every religiousplace and villages falling under the particular area can get itsbenefit.Fig 1: Location map of the study areaThere is a lack of paved roads to connect the scatteredreligious places in the interior. Most of the religious placesare connected by kutcha routes. A paved road joins the roadleading to Sitakund through the upper boundary of Kamtavillage on the north side of Kamadgiri from the bus stand.The second route via this bus stand joins the Banda-Karviroad from the west of Nirmohi Akhara via Sitapur. From thebus stand itself, another route passes through the east ofNirmohi Akhara and meets the Sitapur road passing throughthe urban area of Sitapur. The road is unusable for vehiclesas it is very narrow. This route comes in the Uttar Pradeshborder. 192

International Journal of Applied Researchhttps://www.allresearchjournal.comOne route leads to Gupt Godavari and Sati AnusuiyaAshram via Chitrakoot-Satna road. Road leading to SatiAnusuiya Ashram. Sure. A paved road is also available fromChitrakoot to Sphatik Shila. Other religious places in thisregion are connected by unpaved roads and trails. Thepresent bus stand here is located at a very unsuitable sitewhile the new bus stand is under construction.Along with the development of routes to local and religiousplaces, it is necessary to arrange for additional local vehiclesfor the pilgrims. The requirement of about 15 regular busesis estimated on the Satna-Chitrakoot route on normal days.The requirement of about 50 special buses is estimated onthe occasions of Somvati Amavasya, Deepawali and RamNavami etc.The main aim of this paper is to prepare road connectingfrom Chitrakoot to other pilgrim places objectives of thepaper are as follows:1. To facilitate the pilgrims to reach Chitrakoot Dham bydifferent routes.2. Facility for pilgrims to visit religious and natural places.3. Connecting the villages of the investment area withpucca roads.There are several roads in the planning area that connect thecity and its surroundings to important places. They are thefollowingTable 1: Routes connecting tourist placesS.N.1234567RouteBus stand and Hnuman Dhara road Chitrakoot-Satna Road to Sphatik ShilaChitrakoot-Satna Road to Gupt GodavariRoad connecting Chitrakoot-Satna Road to Sati AnusuiyaRamghat roadKamadgiri RoadParikrama RouteVehicle Stop SitesA bus stand exists in the city of Chitrakoot. This statehighway is located at Sadguru Eye Hospital. State ownedbus services connect Chitrakoot with Majhagowan, Jhansi,Kanpur, Banda and Allahabad. The frequency of buses isvery less except Chitrakoot-Satna. It is the most preferredmode of transport for the tourists visiting the city.A new bus stand has been constructed near Pramod Van butit lacks basic facilities. In view of the tourist movementduring festivals, a temporary bus stand at Sirsawan wasproposed in the development plan (1994-2005) but theproposal has not been implemented yet.Proposed road network1. The Chitrakoot-Karvi Route, apart from being theentrance to the city, acts as the backbone of theinvestment area along which major development isestablished. Additional growth is expected on this routedue to the proposals of herbal products, educationsector, health sector supported by herbal (herbalrelated) industries and Sadguru Trust etc. In view of thepossibility of widening of this route, it has been2.3.4.Route of typearterial roadarterial roadarterial roadarterial roadsub arterial roadsub arterial roadsub arterial roadStatusGoodGoodGoodGoodGoodGoodGoodproposed to widen this route to 18 meters. There is abypass road on this route which starts near the petrolpump of Rajoula village and meets on the Pili Kothiroad. This route is also proposed to be widened to 18meters which will facilitate the movement of pilgrimscoming from Satna Nagar as they can directly reachKamadgiri Parikrama through this route and willprovide easy movement to the pilgrims and theresidents.Pili Kothi road by 30 meters it is proposed to widen.This route is very important because lakhs of people usethis route during the new moon for KamadgiriParikrama.It is also proposed to widen by 30 meters from RamnathAshram Shala (DRI) Route near Pili Kothi Route toChitara Gokulpur as this road meets Chitrakoot-Karviroad and then joins NH-76 near Ahmedganj.The road passing through Gudar Katra and connectingthe road with Chitrakoot Municipal Council is proposedto be widened to 24 meters as important commercialand residential areas are proposed along this road. Thisroute goes from Hanuman dhara to Karvi.Table 2: The proposed width of the existing routes arvi RoutePili Kothi RoadPili Kothi-Khohi-Paldev Route via ChoubeypurChoubeypur -Lalapur-Sejwar Road to BharatkupPathra-Bandarkol-Khohi RouteRoute from Rajola to Bandarkol via Khohi Route via Bhaganpurin front of gas warehouse located at RajoulaRoute from Mohkamgarh to Hanumandhara road and through airstriproute from Rajola to Balapur and route to Khohi road via BandarkolTulsi Route(A) FromChitrakoot route to present bypass(B) From bypass to Pramukh dhwarChitrakoot Satna Route (SH-11)Karvi – Chitara – Gokulpur Route1112 193 Details of the currentroute Width (metres)12126966696Detail of the proposedroute Width (metres)303030 181818181818126-912918123030
